The IOC Executive Council consists of 40 Member States including those Member States represented by the Chairperson and the five Vice-Chairpersons. The EC exercises the responsibilities delegated to it by the Assembly and acts on its behalf in the implementation of decisions of the Assembly. The EC makes recommendations on future actions by the Assembly. 

Its provisional agenda and timetable are prepared in agreement with the IOC Officers during their meeting with the senior management of the Secretariat (see the January 2024 Officers meeting). 

The 57th session of the EC is taking place at UNESCO Headquarters from 25 to 28 June 2024 preceded by a meeting of the Officers and a meeting of the Intersessional Financial Advisory Body.
